Who is the more popular coach at ISU?

I'm sure at some point this has been asked on here, so I apologize if there is another thread on this. But, who would you say is the more popular guy in town; Paul Rhoads or Fred Hoiberg? It may be since we just got done with bball season, but I would go with Hoiberg. I think that our bball program has a higher ceiling than the football program (at this point), and being Ames' favorite son doesn't hurt either. Obviously, there is no wrong answer here though.

Re: Who is the more popular coach at ISU?

I love Fred just because he has us back in the tournament already and is harvesting elite talent. With CPR we still have to pray to get 6 wins and typically have one of the least talented teams in the Big 12.

Re: Who is the more popular coach at ISU?

I'm a basketball first kind of fan, so the fact that I even have to think about this means that Rhoads has made quite the impression.

But Fred is Fred. If you are probably 27 or older you grew up with Fred as the face of Iowa State. Even before he became a coach he was probably the most recognizable person for Iowa State fans. He was known by first name only :)
